MURPHY, Idaho â Founded in 1863, Owyhee County is the second-largest county in the state and is home to only around 11,500 people, but the terrain has enough history to last a lifetime.
This history needs to be preserved, as some artifacts date back hundreds of years.

Everything from mining to ranching, farming, all of that is preserved here on about a one-acre lot. It s important to preserve this stuff because you can experience what life was like 100 years ago,â Museum Director Eriks Garsvo said.

The USGS Earth Resources Observation and Science (EROS) Center has released a new online tool to help the public better visualize county-by-county land change across the United States.
The National Land Cover Database (NLCD) Enhanced Visualization and Analysis (EVA) tool lets users pick any county in the U.S. and see how much change has occurred between 2001-2016.
The interactive mapping tool breaks down change with graphs, charts and spreadsheets, and includes special sections showing growth or loss of impervious urban surfaces, forested lands and wetlands. A cropland change viewer is in development.
